"Yoko, the best day for sunflowers, the sun is warming in Tokyo," he said. We arrived at the Liuchuan, like the one we came to when we were married, and the small courtyard of the hotel was still clean and green. And the room we stayed in had not changed. The old woman who had seen it was already 94 years of age. Is nothing but time going to change? 」

"Actually, I just want to know if you are really happy with me." Yoko, whether it's a later accident or a tumor in your womb, you can't let me think you're going to leave me. Even now, I have always felt that you are here. 」

"I know he is a person wearing a bad mask, but the heart is sensitive and delicate, easy to feel lonely." After he made such a judgment, I also put down my heart to follow him. 」

Only at this time when he was tired and returned home did he show her husband's appearance. At other times, for me, he was more of a photographer than a husband. And I don't want to be his wife, I want to be his "woman". 」
